This isn't about Canada specifically, but it feels like required knowledge given our proximity to the US

Thanks for your message, it helped me look more critically at the video. But I still have some questions about your message and appreciate your help.

There’s some falsehoods there.

Could you please tell the falsehoods you found? It felt like the professor answered well all the questions asked. I imagine some parts were edited like Wired does for brevity, and they might have a role in the selection of questions, but the omissions do not feel malicious.

There needs to be more blame put on the oligarchs.

Definitely! There is a chapter just explaining oligarchs and another about outliving their used. And a brief call on "how they come to power". What would you add to those answers? (or any other answer).

Also pronatlism and ethnonationalsm are different things.

I could not find this discussion in the video. Was that supposed to be in the part of the reproductive rights?

Also should have mentioned more [classic] liberal dictatorships such as Napoleon and Lee Kuan Yew.

Thank you for naming dictators, I was not familiar with Lee Kuan Yew, now I have some reading to do. I imagine there are many more I was not aware of. I remember vaguely some from school days, but very few get close to being called liberal.
